Tour de Yorkshire: Final Stage

Greg Van Avermaet (BMC Racing) wrapped up the overall victory in the Tour de Yorkshire after Stéphane Rossetto (Cofidis)had secured a sensational lone stage win.

Rossetto’s ride will go down in Yorkshire folklore after the Frenchman launched an audacious solo attack with 120km of the brutally tough ‘Yorkshire Terrier’ remaining, and the 31 year old evaded a vastly reduced peloton to seal the biggest stage win of his career and top the best climber classification sponsored by Virgin Trains in the process. Not surprisingly, Rossetto was also awarded the grey most active rider jersey sponsored by Dimension Data.

Van Avermaet sprinted home 37 seconds behind Rossetto in second place to tie up the race leader’s blue jersey sponsored by Yorkshire Bank Bike Libraries, nine seconds ahead of Spaniard Eduard Prades Reverter (Euskadi Basque Country-Murias). Last year’s race winner Serge Pauwels (Team Dimension Data) rounded out the podium, five seconds further adrift.

The bonus points Van Avermaet accrued on the line also saw him win the best sprinter classification sponsored by Asda. 2018 Tour de Yorkshire champion Greg Van Avermaet said: “First of all, I want to say that this is a victory for Andy Rihs. I’m really happy with the win. It’s the first win for BMC Racing Team since Andy died so it was a goal to win the race in honor of him.”

“We all had it in mind to win the race for him and tomorrow is his funeral. He supported our team for many years and I think that the work that the team did was really amazing. We had him in our minds and it was really great that we could finish it off. So thank you to Andy, thank you to the team, and I’m so happy that I can win this race. It was a great atmosphere and I’m happy to have the Tour de Yorkshire on my palmares. It’s always nice to win a GC as it’s not that easy for me.”

“I’m happy I could achieve the race win because it was certainly not easy today. The fans were amazing, and for the whole four days actually. I remember from the Tour de France, and when I last raced here in 2015, what it was like, and with this sunny weather even more fans came out. It was really special”.

“The parcours was fantastic as well with a lot of variation over the four stages and this race definitely deserves its place on the calendar. I hope to come back and defend my title next year.”

“We had a pretty good plan. We wanted to put Brent in the front as he was still a GC contender and that worked well. Magnus Cort Nielsen could not follow so it was up to us to take a bonus second and then at the end of the stage, it was good enough for the overall.”

“It was really hard with more than 2000m of elevation. Everybody is in good shape, everybody did what they had to do, and I’m super happy that I can finish it off. When the race opened up, we still had three or four guys there and we really tried to control the situation. We were only five guys but everyone did their best so it’s nice to finish it off.”

What did you think of the atmosphere and the crowds at the Tour de Yorkshire this week? “It was amazing here. There are not so many races with so much support. I remember from the Tour de France and the previous edition I did, it was already amazing but I think this year tops it off with the nice weather and the good parcours so congratulations to the organization. The whole week was incredible. This race really has a place on the calendar.”

“The Tour de Yorkshire overall is a race that really suits me. It has a punchy parcours and one that I’m really good at. First of all, I was coming here to try and win stages but in the end, I think it was good that I came second on day two as we didn’t have to control the race really and this was the main thing that helped us win. We still had four guys when the race opened up and we could control from there. I just had to finish it off. This week was really a team effort and I’m happy I could take the win for the guys.”

Stage four winner Stéphane Rossetto said: “This is my third professional win and certainly my most beautiful. I did it on a race that is growing in stature all the time, has more history now, and an amazing crowd. It’s been like riding the Tour de France over the last four days.
